HMMM....100plus HP with a turbo...all thats required is a custom build set up to make it fit and several thousand dollars..or...an intake added to stock engine costing several hundred dollars with mediocre returns do to head flow restrictions. You need to list current modifications then list what it is you want from the car, and how much your willing to spend

I really hope you dont mean cold air intake. If you are comparing a 150$ cai to a 7000$ turbo system...

thanks people [&:]
yes i mean a good cold air intake
Brand, type, or just custom modify the stock intake

yes they are a big price difference and i have put a turbo on a friend'scar before but it is a lot of work and i was wondering if i could get a 1/4 of the turbo performance with a new CAI
